    Well the Nova has been on its longest journey since October 2009. Have moved house now so had to move the car in, luckily only moved on the same street. Still scrubs up ok.











    And in its new home for the next few years.



    In all seriousness it may be time to sell, seems a waste to have it sitting there when someone could enjoy it and I could put one of the other cars in the garage.

    Why not use it and enjoy it yourself?

    He has moved on. Some people do.

    I imagine a mk1.5 MR2 will fill every void the Nova ever left, and then some. Plus a Type-R Civic, and whatever else he has.
    Maybe Lee likes the look.of it enough to keep it hanging around a little longer though.

    How far down the street have you moved, Lee? It's shocking that's its longest journey in almost a decade!

    [EDIT] It is an awesome Nova though. I love the pic of it on the rollers.

    I have another car that is quicker and puts the power down much better and my daily handles miles better than the Nova so no real need for it. Was good when I was early 20's but now I'm early 30's....

    Yeah the mk1.5 is epic when its working properly. Rev 3 engine now which feels rapid but had some overheating issues when I took it to York a couple of weeks ago so just trying to fix that now. Just replaced radiator and thermostat but its being a pig to bleed, major airlock in the heater matrix.

    Have only moved two doors down. Main reason I keep the car is its pretty nice to look at and I don't have to sell it. If it does sell I quite fancy a supercharged EP3 next for weekend fun.

    I tried breaking it and had loads of interest in everything except the engine. However the engine is worth most so really needed that to go first rather than being stuck with it.

    I think Mark managed to sell his engine first as never saw it up for sale.
